So my most controversial take is that Grian and Gem wish they were twins so they could have EVEN MORE forbidden sexual tension bc I think that’s where they’re happiest. They don’t actually want to fuck each other they just want to think about fucking each other while it’s not allowed and be really intimate without technically crossing any lines.

I think after bdubs stream where etho comes over to 'co-host' because bdubs is low on energy, they end up on a discord call for hours. and etho is poking bdubs like didn't you say you were tired? and bdubs says oh cmon you know it's different. and etho is like yeah you gotta put on a show, big streamer guy. and bdubs fondly says yeah I mean, it's different when it's just you, though. and etho fakes offense at the idea of not being worth the same effort, being 'just you'. and bdubs says well that's not what I meant how about 'only you', as in I get tired pretty easily but not when I'm with only you, you know I always have energy to talk to you. and etho just hums as if he's assessing the truth of what bdubs said even though he gets it immediately, intrinsically, wholeheartedly

also scope for teasing about performing for the stream and being on camera -> etho asking if he's not worth that same effort, being a private audience of one, but truly not expecting that bdubs turns his camera on and his eyes are so soft and sleepy and his smile is smug but genuine and etho watches his mouth as he says "is this what you wanted?"

jono man, you know. you must know. lock them in a closet together. please. for me

not to suck my own clit but how did this even come out of me

bdubs was put on this earth to get stuck in a glue trap

canon-accurate ethubs petplay where bdubs agrees to try it out and etho goes through a whole scene of like bringing home his new pet and bdubs is embarrassed and super turned on bc no matter how self-conscious he is he likes when etho's bossy. and etho's like okay now Wait Here. implying if bdubs is good he'll get a reward, so like maybe bdubs is into this whole deal. except etho leaves to go to the shopping district real quick and then doc stops him to pick his brain and complain abt shenanigans happening and so he has to take the long way home and remembers he didn't get the logs he'd gone for so he just uses his own farm anyway instead of risking another detour and anyway like four hours in he realizes he has basically done the equivalent of leaving bdubs alone in a hot car & bdubs hasn't even messaged him so he runs back and bdubs has faked his death with a little note that says something like "BdoubleO was killed by NEGLECT!!!" and etho can't help pointing out over chat that that is not even how the death message would work and also you can't die of starvation in four hours bdubs. and then it devolves into a convoluted game where bdubs is now pretending to be the ghost of his pets come to haunt him and frankly their attempts to talk through are SO BAD, like just really badly acted porn dialogue, with bdubs sticking to the Role Play and etho trying to make up for genuinely fucking up by powering thru this game of pretend so they can at least get off bc he was kind of looking forward to making time for sex given how busy/absent they both can be. they give it two more shots of etho being a bad "pet" owner before they give up and try it the other way

etho says oh fine let's see YOU do a better job, huh! and bdubs says what like you want me to treat you like... my parrot? (etho: you had a parrot?) no horses aren't the same etho, don't even pretend with me like that. unless you're wanting me to make you run laps. so i can die of dehydration, etho says, as revenge. oh my god do you want me to treat you like the little idiots downstairs, then? if you do this you can boss me around, etho says, super sly and not at all subtle. bdubs doesn't need a reason to but the thing is how is he supposed to pass it up when handed to him on a silver platter. it actually goes shockingly well for a while with bdubs giving simple commands wrapped in light praise/insults (maybe you can teach stupid!) but he has to make etho wait. as revenge you know. so he tells etho to sit or heel or lie down or something while he works and he does kind of get absorbed in it but he's good about checking and keeping etho in line of sight - because he is responsible unlike some people - and etho actually dozes off and starts snoring really really really softly and it is so unfathomably cute that bdubs can't even bring himself to wake etho up and he ends up falling asleep in his chair at his desk too. etho mocks him mercilessly when he wakes up first which completely ruins any chance at continuing the scene and they still don't have sex about it.
